subject: Miami Real Estate Homeowner Tips Handling The Joneses [print this page] Negligent De-valuers
As a resident of a particular neighborhood in the city, its your duty to contribute to the wellbeing of the community by taking care of your Miami real estate property, especially your personal curb appeal. But in every neighborhood, there is always this one family who continuously or even intentionally forgets to mow their lawn, cut overgrown shrubs and take care of their exterior. Homes without proper outside maintenance can pull down the value of other properties around them.
What you can do is to talk to the family and tactfully remind them of their lawn maintenance duties. You must show a level of savoir faire when it comes to dealing with these people since you are not aware of the reason for the neglect. Oftentimes, neglect on maintenance is caused by personal reasons, e.g., divorce, this is the best time for you and other neighbors to step in and help out.
Dangerous Neighbors
Like the aforementioned type of neighbor, there is also always someone in your Miami real estate neighborhood that is just not worth getting close with. You shouldnt mistake this, though, for with not worth getting to know. Dangerous neighbors are often those who tend to keep to themselves and shun visitors. Its crucial to know their boundaries and dislikes to avoid any future clashes or accidents. Just like in horror movies, better stay off their lawn.
Snooty Joneses
And there are neighbors who seemingly keep on getting richer and richer. They always have the latest furniture, newest additions and other extravagant accessories. They have the perfect lawn and largest property. While its tempting to keep up with these types of neighbors, especially if youve the competitive spirit, youre only going to risk your financial health if you do. Unless if you have within your capacity (and bank account) the privilege of regularly improving your Miami real estate property and make it look stellar, its best to leave them be and cope on your own terms, without being too extravagant yourself.
